knowledge, innovations and practices and encourage the equitable sharing of the benefits

needs of Indigenous groups and to facilitate the sharing information publicly. It will work to
foster communications among Indigenous groups globally, and to aid Indigenous peoples
form their own locally appropriate communications plans.
